a34eceb4cc doc: update -externalip documentation in tor.md (Jon Atack)
dc8a591222 doc: add tor.md section on how to get tor info via bitcoind (Jon Atack)
e1765d8b04 doc: update tor.md address examples from onion v2 to v3 (Jon Atack)
Pull request description:
It looks like `doc/tor.md` could use some updates and improvements, not only for Tor v3, but also for setting multiple addresses with `-externalip` (see the conversation from http://www.erisian.com.au/bitcoin-core-dev/log-2020-09-16.html#l-39), how to see information about your Tor config via Bitcoin Core, and other improvements.
Closes#19924.

5c3eaf9983 doc: Add warnings for http interfaces limitations (Fabian Jahr)
Pull request description:
`libevent`, which is used for our rest interface, can use up all of the available file descriptors in a system if too many connections are opened at once. If a new block is connected at the same time and can not be written to disk because there are no file descriptors available, the node crashes. Based on my investigation so far the issue is best solved upstream which means we have to wait for the next release (2.2). In the meantime it would be good if we would warn users of this limitation.
See #11368 for more background.

c175690561 doc: Update for FreeBSD 12.2, add GUI Build Instructions (Jarol Rodriguez)
Pull request description:
The current FreeBSD Build documentation is a little outdated and underwhelming. This PR intends to keep the build-freebsd.md doc up to date. Here are the main improvements:
- Introduce dependency information
- New instructions for building the GUI
- Instructions for supporting descriptor wallets
- Various notes on the build and compile process

fa13e1b0c5 build: Add option --enable-danger-fuzz-link-all (MarcoFalke)
44444ba759 fuzz: Link all targets once (MarcoFalke)
Pull request description:
Currently the linker is invoked more than 150 times when compiling with `--enable-fuzz`. This is problematic for several reasons:
* It wastes disk space north of 20 GB, as all libraries and sanitizers are linked more than 150 times
* It wastes CPU time, as the link step can practically not be cached (similar to ccache for object files)
* It makes it a blocker to compile the fuzz tests by default for non-fuzz builds #19388, for the aforementioned reasons
* The build file is several thousand lines of code, without doing anything meaningful except listing each fuzz target in a highly verbose manner
* It makes writing new fuzz tests unnecessarily hard, as build system knowledge is required; Compare that to boost unit tests, which can be added by simply editing an existing cpp file
* It encourages fuzz tests that re-use the `buffer` or assume the `buffer` to be concatenations of seeds, which increases complexity of seeds and complexity for the fuzz engine to explore; Thus reducing the effectiveness of the affected fuzz targets
Fixes#20088

The current FreeBSD Build documentation is a little outdated and underwhelming. This PR updates the doc to
be more informative. It also adds new instructions for building the GUI and adding support for descriptor
wallets.
on vasild's recommendation: it is ok to point the user to download db5 which has an active port package
instead of building db4 from the provided script.
